SAFETY MEASURES INSTALLING HARDWARE
2-1
2.1 Safety Measures
Always ask for assistance to move or lift the system.
Only perform troubleshooting as authorized by the product documentation, or as directed by
a service and support team. Repairs not authorized by warranty may void the warranty and
damage the system.
Always make sure to disconnect the system from the power source. Powering down the sys-
tem DOES NOT ensure there is no electrical activity in the system.
Server components and circuit boards are easily damaged by discharges of static electricity.
Working on servers that are connected to a power system can be extremely dangerous. Follow
the guidelines below to avoid personal injury or damage to the server.
Always disconnect the system from the power source whenever you are working inside the
server case.
Wear a grounded wrist strap. If none are available, discharge any personal static electricity by
touching the bare metal chassis of the server case, or the bare metal body of any other
grounded device.
Humid environments tend to have less static electricity than dry environments. A grounding
strap is warranted whenever danger of static electricity exists.
Do not touch the components on the unless it is necessary to do so. Do not flex or stress circuit
boards.
Leave all replacement components inside their static-proof packaging until you are ready to
use them.
